Stress
The work on your desk keeps piling up and your latest dot-com
investment just took a nosedive. When stressful events take over, they
suck the sexual energy right out of you.
Illness
You won't be feeling too sexy when your nose is running and the pile of
tissues next to your bed keeps growing exponentially. Likewise, PMS may
leave you temporarily uninterested in sex. But more serious illnesses
such as hypothyroidism, diabetes, cancer, heart and lung disorders, and
STIs may also be responsible for the drop in your sex drive. If you
suspect something more serious, make an appointment with your medical
professional.
Medication
Many prescription and over-the-counter drugs can decrease your sexual
appetite. Well-documented sex drive crushers include antidepressants
such as Prozac and Xanax but medication for hypertension, psychotropic
drugs, sedatives, opiates and even birth control pills can lessen your
interest in sex or make reaching orgasm difficult.
Lifestyle
If you've recently married, ended a relationship, changed jobs or
moved, you may be mentally and physically out of sorts. Lifestyle
changes are yet another form of stress, and even if they are positive
ones, they can sometimes adversely affect your sex life.
Ageing
While some studies have revealed that sexual responsiveness may get
better with age, hormonal imbalances in perimenopausal and menopausal
women lead to a diminished sex drive. Some women may experience an
aversion to touch, and intercourse may be painful due to vaginal dryness
caused by a drop in oestrogen.
Relationship blues
Temporary disinterest in your partner is normal. But if you're finding
that the seesaw of sexual desire is grounded on the down side for an
extended period of time, it could be tied to relationship issues. If
there's tension or unhappiness in your relationship, it will eventually
show up in your sex life.
Body image
Learning to love your body is probably one of the greatest hurdles to
developing a strong sense of sexuality. If you feel uncomfortable with
your physical self, you may hide your body from your partner, which can
lead to a slowdown in sexual activity.
Depression
If you are depressed, sex will not be at the top of your agenda.
Everyone experiences a bad day or two, but if those weeks turn into
months, your depressed state will put your sexual interest on hold.
New baby
In addition to a new small person demanding your constant attention,
lactation and postpartum depression (which occurs in about 10% of women)
can contribute to a low libido. The lower oestrogen level in lactating
women is known not only to lower the sex drive, but can dry the vaginal
walls, making intercourse painful.
Drugs and alcohol
Excessive consumption of drugs and/or alcohol may increase the quantity
of your sexual encounters, but in the long run it can take its toll on
your sex drive. Be aware if your drop in libido seems to correlate with
an increase in alcohol or drug consumption.
If a lack of sexual interest is bringing you down, there are steps you
can take to boost your sex drive. A healthy diet, the right amount of
exercise and a daily dose of fresh air can help whet your sexual
appetite.
Allowing yourself to explore a new erotic desire or fantasy can spark
new-found interest in sex. Talking about your sexual discontent with a
trusted friend, your partner, an online support group or a good
therapist can help you sort out some of the emotional or psychological
issues that might be causing you grief. Sexual disinterest that stems
from a physical problem, such as a hormone imbalance, or depression, may
need to be treated with medication. Contact your healthcare provider
for an exam and consultation.
Whatever the reason for your sex drive troubles, remember this: low
libido is a natural part of the human sexual response cycle - what goes
up, must come down.
